I have had histoplasmosis in my lungs for 4 years it is no fun thats for sure. I have chest pain daily

[histo1955]

everyone (especially truthforjustice2011) just had my first chest xray in over 40 years. confirms disseminated histo (1955/1956). 8/05 one-of-a-kind autoimmune illness. chairperson/rheumatology/mayo made the connection in the last year histo=auto immune later in life. any other leads anyone has would be much appreciated. two-thirds of my lungs are scarred with histo.

@truthforjustice2011 yeah! These heart burns are just aweful! Degrading quality of life when youre afraid of what will happen after your next meal. The thing is, i remember some deep coughs that happened to me while suffering from these heart burns. very tiring coughs. I understood they had a relation to that H Pylori and thank god, now all is basically well after i took that treatment of pills for a month or so. No heart burns, no coughs.

[truthforjustice2011]

@eladbari Thank you for the advice unfortunately I'm familiar with both H. P. and its role in causing heart burns it can be a real pain and a serious health issue however, coughs can mainly be caused by a large array of environmental factors that triggers our immune system react when respiratory system is exposed to either allergens or airborne infectious agents and in some times fumes or even stress.

[truthforjustice2011]

@eladbari You are welcome, It all depends on where you live if you are currently residing in the US look for Products from a company called BBJ environmental or Fiberlock there products are EPA registered. Apply the solutions as instructed to coils, drainage pans and all surfaces within the HVAC then wash with water. (be aware of electrical wiring of course) there are also inhibitors that can be applied. You may also give UV light installation inside the AC if feasible as an option.

@truthforjustice2011 Hi! tnx for your kind reply!

i would love to hear of ways to disinfect my AC.

And just wanted to share that at the end What i had was H Pylori -that gave me acid reflux and coughs. if u have heart burns please check for H pylori bacteria since it may be the true cause of it. i wouldve never found out if it wasnt for info i found here on youtube+ ppl's comments.Research your own medical state cause your doctors wont help u. my doc's didnt think of H pylori!i told em bout it

The X-Rays are showing granulomas (calcification caused by calcium deposits on inhaled fungal yeast). In lots of cases the X-Ray is not enough to diagnose due to the misconception it is TB. If a patient with Histo is mistakenly diagnosed as a TB patient and put on TB remedies the worse could happen, since TB treatment will cause the fungus to spread more. The proper treatment for Histo is with Itraconazol or Spornox.

@lipssr01

I know exactly what you mean. I almost died of Histo and this disease eventually became my area of expertise. I have conducted lots of studies on this infection. If you live in the Ohio river valley you probably have been exposed to it. If you are not native and you inhale a big inoculum when your immune system is weak then you are in big trouble. The biggest risk is the misdiagnosis by doctors with TB due to Granuloma’s presence in X-Rays.

[truthforjustice2011]

@eladbari I've worked extensively on issues related to infections, Indoor Air Quality and Histoplasmosis. It is unlikely that what you just described has something to do with Histo it is probably a mold. If you suffer from respiratory problems and allergies without fever or -ve progression then your IAQ is the issue the good news is that you can get a professional help to disinfect your AC with a proper anti-microbial I can recommend few and the method if you think this is the case.

[eladbari]

@hammadshams im not a doctor, of course, but all i know is that i have an air conditioner in my [not so big] room, and in its airways it has these black spots. maybe some sort of bacteria.

lately ive been turning that AC on 24\7 almost, since its hot. but I had this AC for years turned on..

Anyways,I did a 1+1,and got to the idea maybe bacteria came into my body through breathing this air.

Does this theory has to do with your video here?

I have dry coughs. slight headache. whats the deal?
